Behind The Scenes
Written By Scott Kulman

Well folks, it’s been one heck of a year. 2020 really had us goin for a while but we made it through, thanks to you. Next year is looking like an incredible season for music and we can’t wait to see you all real soon!

As a team, we promise to put out more behind the scenes and musical content. We’ve got big plans to have more audio and video coming out in the next year for all ensembles!

To bring us into 2021 with style and grace, see below for our individual resolutions. Let’s make next year even better.

-Stay well,

The SpeechLess Team

I have a few resolutions. For one, I’d like to join a running group. I loved doing weekly long runs with Team Brookline while marathon training pre-COVID, and I’ve missed the camaraderie.

I’d like to finally finish the 3 half-done knitting projects I have.

Lastly, I’d like to visit my out-of-state friends. COVID cancelled all plans, so crossing my fingers it works out for 2021!

My first resolution is to learn how to dance without a guitar strapped to my body. I've been able to cheat the fact that I can't move my torso for years. I can do the Chuck Berry/Angus Young kick (often confused with the 'duck walk'), but once I lose the guitar I'm a deer in headlights.

My second resolution is to become fluent enough in Russian to hold conversations with some depth with my parents-in-law!

In 2021 I’d like to create more art. I went to school for illustration and I love book binding, so it would be great to make more work for myself.

I’d also like to get better at the bass guitar. I’m the only one in the office that’s not a professional musician!

Also drink less caffeine. That’s a life-long resolution.

I’d like to learn the Joe Venuti 4-string violin bow technique as demonstrated here:  Evan Price - Four String Joe

I want to convince Julian to let me sit on the couch.

I’d also like to eat more snax, and finally catch a bunny!

 

see you next year!
